"Saan ba kayo galing ni Daniel kahapon? Tinawagan mo ako saying you'll tell me something important tapos tatakasan mo ako. Sobrang nag-alala si Tita Min. Juskong bata ito!"
Hinawakan ko ang sentido ko at hinilot. Sumasakit ulo ko rito kay Ate Wheng. Naglalakad kami sa hallway papuntang office ni Mr. M. Pinatawag kami ni Mr. M for I don't know reason. Sabi ni Mama pati sina Tita Karla at Daniel ay pinapapunta. Bakit kaya?
"Nakikinig ka bang bata ka?! Kathryn Chandria Bernardo!"
"Ay sorry Ate Wheng. Ano ulit yon?"
Malakas na napabuntong-hininga si Ate Wheng. Am I a bad talent? Hahaha. Speaking of takas, ang saya lang ng date namin ni Daniel. He made me feel like a normal teenager in love with her date for a day. I feel like 15 all over again. Twitter-pottering kisses. Butterflies in the stomach because of sudden gestures and surprises. Those moments were the best moments of my life.
Pagpasok naming ay wala pa sina Mr. M pati na rin sina Daniel. Naupo na kami ni Ate Wheng. Wala si Mama kasi sumama ang pakiramdam. Hinilot-hilot ko ang ulo ko kasi sumasakit talaga when I felt arms surrounding my neck and lips kissing my shoulder. By the smell of it, I think I already know who.
"Masakit ba ulo mo? You've been massaging your head for quite awhile. I've been there for almost 10 minutes watching you."
I faced Daniel and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "I'm fine. Medyo sumakit lang. May sipon ako eh."
Umupo na rin si Daniel sa tabi ko at nilaro-laro yung kamay ko. Minsan ay hihipan niya yung tenga ko na kinakainis ko talaga. Parang bata eh. Biglang tumikhim si Ate Wheng at Kya Rye na kanina pa pala nakatingin sa amin at puno ng question marks yung mukha nila. Oh, di pa pala naming nasasabi ni Daniel. Ningitian ko na lang si Ate Wheng at nagmouth ng Later.
Dumating na si Mr. M at tiningnan lahat ng tao sa loob. I don't know pero I felt nervous suddenly.
"Wow. It's been a long time since me and these set of people were in one room. Hahaha. Since almost everyone is here we'll talk about this certain matter. About Kath and Daniel."
Hinigpitan ni Daniel ang hawak niya sa kamay ko. I don't like where this conversation will go.
"What about us Mr. M? What about us AGAIN?"
"Good question Daniel! Since natanong mo na eh sasabihin ko na. We'll break your love team. Nice idea right?"
